This text looks beyond poverty and unemployment, street-fights and drug deals in American inner-cities to examine cultural, economic, educational, and social resources. It aims to raise consciousness about the opportunities available to foster resilience among children, families and communities.
"...effectively draws insight from the theoretical and empirical research base of psychological resilience and applies the practical implications of this work to education in inner-city schools and communities....As such, this book addresses a domain of significant interest to school psychologists as well as educators and other mental health professionals. We highly recommend this noteworthy contribution for its coverage of a timely and critical issue."—Communiqu'
